SECTION 01045

CUTTING AND PATCHING

PART 1 GENERAL



1.2 Summary

This section includes procedural requirements for cutting and patching to install or attach something to or in an existing surface, or to cut an existing surface to gain access to concealed supports or other services.

Cutting, is the removal of existing construction to permit the installation or performance of the Work.

Patching is the fitting and repair required to restore surfaces to original conditions following the installation or performance of the Work.


The following Sections contain requirements that relate to this Section:

Division I: Section 01041 "Coordination" for coordination cutting and patching with other construction activities.

Requirements of this Section apply specially to mechanical and electrical installations.

1.4 Submittals

1.4.1 Cutting and Patching Proposal: Submit a proposal describing procedures well in advance of the time cutting and patching will be performed. Request approval to proceed. Include the following information, as applicable, in the proposal:

Describe the extent of cutting and patching required. Show how it will be performed and indicate why it cannot be avoided.


Specifications


Describe anticipated results in terms of changes to existing construction. Include changes to structural elements and operating components as well as changes in the building's appearance and other significant visual elements.

List products to be used.

Where cutting and patching involves adding reinforcement to structural elements, submit details and engineering calculations showing integration of reinforcement with the original structure.

Approval by the Engineer to proceed with cutting and patching does not waive the Engineer's right to later require complete removal and replacement of unsatisfactory work.

1.4.2 Utilities: List utilities that cutting and patching shall disturb or affect. List utilities that shall be relocated and those that shall be temporarily out-of-service. Indicate how long services shall be disrupted.

1.5 Quality Assurance

1.5.1 Requirements for Structural Work: Do not cut and patch structural elements in a manner that would change their load-carrying capacity or load-deflection ratio.

Obtain approval of the cutting and patching proposal before cutting and patching the following structural elements:

Foundation construction Bearing and retaining walls Structural concrete Structural steel Lintels Structural decking Stair systems Miscellaneous structural materials Equipment supports Piping, ductwork, vessels, and equipment

1.5.2 Operational Limitations: Do not cut and patch operating elements or related components in a manner that would result in reducing their capacity to perform as intended. Do not cut and patch operating elements or related components in a manner that would result in increased maintenance or decreased operational life or safety.


Specifications


1.5.3 Visual Requirements: Do not cut and patch construction exposed on the exterior or in occupied spaces in a manner that would, in the Engineers opinion, reduce the building's aesthetic qualities. Do not cut and patch construction in a manner that would result in visual evidence of cutting and patching. Remove and replace construction cut and patched in a visually unsatisfactory manner.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

2.1 Materials

Use materials identical to existing materials, for exposed surfaces, use materials that visually match existing adjacent surfaces to the fullest extent possible if identical materials are unavailable or cannot be used. Use materials whose installed performance will equal or surpass that of existing materials.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 Inspection

Examine surfaces to be cut and patched and conditions under which cutting and patching is to be performed before cutting. If unsafe or unsatisfactory conditions are encountered, take corrective action before proceeding.

Before proceeding, meet parties involved in cutting and patching, including mechanical and electrical trades. Review areas of potential interference and conflict, resolve potential conflicts before proceeding.

3.2 Preparation

Provide temporary support of work to be cut.

Protect existing construction during cutting and patching to prevent damage. Provide protection from adverse weather conditions for portions of the Project that might be exposed during cutting and patching operations.

Avoid cutting existing pipe, conduit, or ductwork serving the building but scheduled to be removed or relocated until provisions have been made to bypass them.

3.3 Performance

Employ skilled workmen to perform cutting and patching. Proceed with cutting and patching at the earliest feasible time and complete without delay.


Specifications


Cut existing construction to provide for installation of other components or performance of other construction activities and the subsequent fitting and patching required to restore surfaces to their original condition.

3.3.1 Cutting: Cut existing construction using methods least likely to damage elements retained or adjoining construction.

In general, where cutting, use hand or small power tools designed for sawing or grinding, not hammering and chopping. Cut holes and slots as small as possible, neatly to size required, and with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily cover openings when not in use.

To avoid marring existing finished surfaces, cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces.

Cut through concrete and masonry using a cutting machine, such as a Carborundum saw or a diamond-core drill.

Comply with requirements of applicable Division - 2 Sections where cutting and patching requires excavating and backfilling.

Where services are required to be removed, relocated, or abandoned, by-pass utility services, such as pipe or conduit, before cutting. Cut-off pipe or conduit in walls or partitions to be removed. Cap, valve, or plug and seal the remaining portion of pipe or conduit to prevent entrance of moisture or other foreign matter after by-passing and cutting.

3.3.2 Patching: Promptly patch and repair holes and damaged surfaces caused to adjacent construction by selective demolition operations.

Patch to produce surfaces suitable to new materials.

Patch with durable seams that are as invisible as possible. Comply with specified tolerances.

Completely fill holes and depression in existing concrete or masonry walls to remain with an approved concrete or masonry patching material.

Where feasible, inspect and test patched areas to demonstrate integrity of the installation.

Restore exposed finishes of patched areas and extend finish restoration into retained adjoining construction in a manner that shall eliminate evidence of patching and refinishing.


Specifications


Where removing walls or partitions extends one finished area into another, patch and repair floor and wall surfaces in the new space. Provide an even surface of uniform colour, and appearance. Remove existing floor and wall coverings and replace with new materials, if necessary, to achieve uniform colour and appearance.

Patch, repair, or rehang existing ceilings as necessary to provide an even plane surface of uniform appearance.

3.3.3 Plaster Installation: Comply with specifications and install thickness and coats as indicated.

Unless otherwise indicated, provide 3-coat work.

Finish plaster to match existing adjacent surfaces. Sand lightly to remove trowel marks and arises.

Cut, patch, point-up, and repair plaster to accommodate other construction.

3.4 Cleaning

Clean areas and spaces where cutting and patching are performed. Completely remove pint, mortar, oils, putty, and similar items. Thoroughly clean piping, conduit, and similar features before applying paint or other finishing materials. Restore damaged pipe covering to its original conditions.
